The Fringe Gift Exchange Community

Hello? Anyone out there? I'm not reviving this exchange but I will be offering Fringe for the everywoman exchange. Come on, Fringe fans. I can't be the only one who misses creating for our show.



Link/Community: everywoman | AO3
Event Description: Every Woman Exchange is an exchange for fic and art focused on any female characters, from any fandom or original fiction. Nominations are currently open on AO3, and signups start June 4th.

More info, rules, and FAQs can be found on the DW community.

Important Dates:
Nominations: May 25th - June 1st
Signups: June 4th - June 11th
Assignments due: July 13th
Stories revealed: July 21st
Authors revealed: July 28th

Are you dying to see Diana Prince interact with Olivia Dunham and Astrid in the Fringe universe, to give one example? You can nominate crossovers by combining your desired characters and/or pairings, etc. into a group.

It's that time again. I hope everyone is feeling in a festive mood for Fringe!

The Fringe Gift Exchange is open to fanfic, podfic, fanart, and fanvids; on the fic side, anything goes— all we ask for is a minimum word count of 750, that kinks are tagged, and warnings included.

1. To SIGN UP, all you need to do is add a comment to this very post containing your request and what you're offering to create by October 1.

2. RESPONSES to gift requests are to be posted by December 3, in a separate entry to this community, preferably by your Dreamwidth (or validated open id) sock of choice. The entries will go into a moderation queue until the reveal. All entries will be unveiled by the mods at the same time once every participant has a gift.

3. If you don't want to make a sock journal, that's not a problem. Just let one of the mods know ahead of time. We will put up a separate entry for you to post your gift as an anonymous comment.

4. To join the exchange, post a comment with the following information:

Name: [DW handle] OR [LJ handle] OR [AO3 account] OR [ff.net handle] OR [...]

Things I'd like: Please request at least three different things here...but ultimately feel free to add as many things as you'd like at this point. Doesn't mean you'll get them all, but there's no harm in asking, and it ensures you get a great Secret Santa match. If you'd like a specific pairing or character, then speak now or forever hold thy peace. Don't forget to ask for podfic, art, icons and vids too—we all know the likelihood is low in a small fandom such as this one, but hey, it's worth a shot!

Things I wouldn't like: If there's anything you wouldn't like to receive (pairing in a fic, French electropop for your vid, bright-green textures in your icons) then here's the place to mention it. Without character-, pairing-, or kink-bashing, of course.

What I can do: Are you great at a certain genre (gen, het, slash)? Are you the specialist for writing specific character/s or pairing/s? Do you make icons and graphics? Are you a pod-ficcer? Are you one of the excellent Fringe vidders out there, or an artist with aspirations? As ever, specifics will help us ensure your match brings you tears of happiness instead of, you know, the opposite.

What I can't do: If there's anything you feel you can't do, then please say so here. Same disclaimer as above applies.

Pinch hitter? In the event of someone not being able to complete their gift, are you willing to be a stand-in writer, pod-ficcer, artist, or vidder?

The deadline to sign up is October 1. The deadline to default is November 26; with all gifts due in on December 3, that should give us a time to organize a pinch hitter. Obviously, the sooner we know you can't do it, the easier that task will be. If the assignment you received is not what you signed up to do, let us know that as soon as possible. We're doing the matching by hand so that shouldn't be an issue.

We're a small fandom, so please advertise this gift exchange anywhere you think would be appropriate: personal journals, Twitter, Tumblr, forums, at Fringe communities at home and abroad.

Graphics made possible by cortexiphancaps. If someone wants to make us a shiny new banner, and/or new icons, please do so and I'll edit them in.

FRINGE EXCHANGE SIGN UP IS CLOSED. 

MESSAGE TO ANON WITH IP ADDRESS: 107.0.134.246 WHO LEFT A PLACEHOLDER COMMENT. If you are still planning to sign up, email me at my user name at gmail dot com with your signup filled out by tomorrow afternoon and we'll put you in. If you changed your mind, we hope we'll see you at reveals anyway.

If anyone needs to make changes to their signup, send them to the same email address by tomorrow.

Every Tuesday and Friday, beginning April 1


Everyone has probably already seen this, but just in case you haven't...

Yes, we are starting a formal rewatch beginning on April 1. We'll do two episodes a week. My fellow mods are kerwithyn and wikiaddicted723.

This isn't a live watch. The mods will put up a discussion post but you can watch at your convenience and contribute to the discussion when you are able.

Please help get the word out. I hope to see you there.

I hope all is going well, with life and writing. Just a quick reminder: if you must default, please email us or comment on this post by midnight tonight PST. The sooner you let us know, the easier it will be to get a pinch hitter in place.

Your gift should be posted to the community's queue by December 2 using the sockpuppet of your choice. The next post you see will be for the people who don't want to make a sockpuppet. Post your gift to it as an anonymous comment, which will be screened until the reveal. Everyone else, get your sockpuppets out of the back of the holiday closet.

Assuming everyone gets their gifts in on time or close to it, we'll all get a present by early next week.

The 2013 signups have closed. Your assignment has been sent to the email address you gave us when you signed up. If you didn't include an email, please contact us asap.

If there is a problem with your assignment, please let us know as soon as possible. If you need to ask your recipient a question, you may do so through the fringe_exchange email address: fringexchange1 at gmail dot com.

Have fun!
